A start job is running for /dev/disk/<uui> running for 5min+

Can confirm this. System installed on external USB-SSD? Btrfs systemd encrypted.

Problem appeared after pacman -Syu few days ago.

dracut initqueue still waiting for following initqueue hooks timeout. /dev/mapper etc does not exist and get thrown in emergency shell

I tried reinstall with and with no encryption Btrfs and ext4.

Problem persists (after pacman -Syu). If I don’t update with pacman -Syu (ie state system after calamares initial install ) system works.

LuksOpen and Chrooting works.
